BURNHAM Christmas market returned for its fifth year at the weekend.

The indoor craft and gift market took place at the village hall on Sunday.

Dozens of stalls selling homemade gifts and crafts delighted customers, with musical performances from “Dengie Crooner” Tom Newman-Clark and ladies choir Harmony.

Festive nibbles and refreshments were served all day, with the kids having a visit from Chase from the Paw Patrol.

Andy Turfkruyer, one of the organisers, said: "It was a good steady day. Tom was brilliant and Harmony were exquisite. Everyone was entertained and happy.

"We already have stallholders booking for next year."
